    Nothing changed yet, still no traffic from Y.

    Yesterday I tried to send a larger file to my yahoo mail (6mb) but only 4mb arrived.

    Most search results on top showing non content sites.

    I see the same thing. Many sites that google wouldn't dare to rank are showing up top 10 in yahoo. Crazy.

    Looks like they are sorting things out now..

    More of my "old" SERPs are returning to normal now, and many of the spammy pages are gone..

    Looks like they had/have some problems with their spamfilter, or somthing like that..

    Yes, I'm returning slowly with my keywords again. I think one or two days before back to normal.

    Yesterday no traffic from Y. Today, the last hour 4 visitors - wow

    Yahoo's policy is to force websites to pay for inclusion. I guess this is in that line.

    How do you say yahoo is fixing it? I still show the same spammy sites up on there. I still don't rank for a search for my domain name - a pharmacy site comes up as #2 though. Geesh.

    I'm not sure if it's policy or not, but it does help. Especially if you become 'Most Popular' in your catagory. :)

    Maybe, and as Homer said "I'm not sure if it's policy or not, but it does help. Especially if you become 'Most Popular' in your catagory."

    I think they should come up with something more usful to share with the public, a kind of adsense program would still fit best for them and for everyone else.

    What they are charging for their directory inclusion is to much. I guess only some folks with Yahoo shares are doing so. Look at the number of inclusions; that's nothing!

    Do they want to keep everthing for themselves?

    We're "Lucky" we have "Google."

    Down only here.

    I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this to be honest.

    It looks like I have been banned for some reason. I have always been a top 10 player under competitive, related key phrase. Any mention or variation of that keyphrase I cannot be found AT ALL in top 100. :mad:

    For not being ranked in Yahoo, Slurp seems to be spending a lot of time at my site (like always).

    I'm top of the SERP with 52M results but have dropped out completely from SERPs with 3M results. Actually while writing this when trying to determine the number results, I found out that I was back again on top for at least one of the 3M results pages. It wasn't there yesterday and it's back today.

    Results 1 - 10 of about 552,000 for site:
    Results 1 - 10 of about 811,000 for link:
    3 referrals from yahoo yesterday. This sucks, my site is nowhere.
    I still say these .aspx sites (owned all by dnp) is probably the answer.

    I just checked Yahoo and I rank for one keyword out of the ~100 or so that I track. It showed back up at #94 (down from #3 before last Saturday).

    Woohooo. . . I'm on a roll :p

    I'm also seeing those darn*d .aspx sites on several other keywords I used to rank good on before, and they have copied my sites (and many others) content on them as well... :mad:

    Sent several spam reports to Yahoo, and mailed them locally now..

    I really wasn't aware of this but it appears Yahoo has a 'dance' as well. As of now I have reassumed my positions in top 5 :D.

    One thing that I've noticed is Yahoo used to display my SERPS with the page title from my directory listing. They are now displaying it from my on-page <title> tags. I ilike this better as it contains more keywords. :cool:
